Lets take a look back at the eventful month of April 2015!The month of April was near normal overall and dry with the exception of two areas that were hit with 30-40cm of snow in a 12 hour period on the 25th and 26th. The temperatures averge out that way because of a 1-3C warm anomaly during the day being cancelled out by a 1-3C cold anomaly at night due to dry conditions. This lead to many grass fires that destroyed homes and farms.

Spring sprung early and while we've so far been clocked by two spring snowstorms temperatures overall for March finished 4-7C warmer than normal, some locations having the 2nd or third warmest March on record.

While we did see more near summer like temperatures in some areas the month of February ended up near to below average over the bulk of the prairie provinces and precipitation was above normal. Rainfall was between 5 and 10 times greater than the average in a few areas.

Normally I don't delve so deep into the past month. While I did a forecast for Jan I forgot to press "post". I prediction a warm mid-month and cold by the 20th, the heat lasted longer and was more intense than predicted.

While January got off to a frigid start it turned very warm, dozens of record...
